Yamaha Super Ténéré Worldcrosser

Supplied as retro-fit parts, the Worldcrosser kit includes lightweight carbon body panels and special black anodized chassis protectors that make your Super Ténéré ready for the toughest adventure.

The Worldcrosser kit does not include the Akrapovic exhaust, fog lamp kit and pure off road tyres as shown in the images. The Acrapovic exhaust system and fog lamp kit are available as accessory items from authorised Yamaha dealers.

We’ve been building some of the world’s most rugged adventure bikes for four decades. Our legendary XT and XTZ models introduced global touring to a whole generation of adventure seekers, and inspired the original Dakar rally. Fitted with special kit parts, the XT1200Z Super Ténéré Worldcrosser takes the adventure bike concept to a new level.

Featuring intelligent technology, this go-anywhere bike delivers class-leading performance and controllability together with outstanding long-distance capabilities.

Equipped with exclusive new carbon body parts and rugged black anodized aluminium chassis protectors, the Worldcrosser is the real deal.

Sidepanels

The Worldcrosser is fitted with a range of beautifully-finished carbon components, including exclusive new sidepanels. These rugged and lightweight sidepanels are equipped with aluminium mesh in the air vents to give this high-specification adventure bike an even more exclusive appearance.

Frame guards

For added durability in off road riding situations the Worldcrosser is equipped with lightweight carbon frame protectors. These extremely tough components shield the tubular frame from the effects of abrasion caused by the rider’s boots, helping you to reduce wear and tear and maintain the bike’s good looks.

Fork protectors

As well as shielding the 43mm fork tubes from dirt and debris, the lightweight carbon fork protectors give the Worldcrosser an exclusive image. These durable protectors also feature an exclusive wrap –around design that offers extra side protection to the fork outer tubes.

Drive shaft shield

Yamaha have developed a number of black anodized aluminium parts to help protect the Worldcrosser’s chassis components in the most extreme off road environments. The specially-designed drive shaft shield gives added protection to the shaft housing and rear hub when riding in rocky or rutted terrain.

Skid plate

In addition to the many other protectors fitted to the Worldcrosser, this tough adventure bike is also equipped with a rugged aluminium skid plate. Its durable design helps to protect the crankcases and header pipes from rocks, stumps and debris, and also acts as a glide plate if you bottom out on uneven terrain.

Rear brake protector

Running along the length of the aluminium swinging arm is a lightweight black anodized aluminium shield which protects the rear brake caliper and brake line. When you’re a long way from home it’s good to know that Yamaha’s designers have fitted the best possible protection systems to help prevent accidental damage to your Worldcrosser.

Sticker kit

Also included in the Worldcrosser kit is a set of graphics which are designed to highlight the special lightweight parts and give your Super Ténéré an exclusive feel. Available in a choice of yellow/black or red, these Yamaha speedblock stickers are designed to enhance the screen, sidepanels, frame protectors and skid plate.

Tank protection pads

The Worldcrosser special parts kit features special self-adhesive tank protection pads manufactured from durable polyurethane. Not only do they help protect the tank’s paintwork from scuffs and scratches – they also offer useful knee grip in both the seated and standing riding positions.

Asphaltandrubber ---- "So it is hard to imagine how Yamaha could improve on an already fine motorcycle (we guess the tuning fork brand could give the Super Ténéré away for free), but the Japanese manufacturer did so with its Yamaha Super Ténéré Worldcrosser concept"

Twowheelsblog ---- "The new graphics are obviously inspired by the manufacturer’s historic white-red-black color scheme, that was recently retrieved from memory for Yamaha’s 50th anniversary celebrations"
